Enclosure(s)
FBI FOIPA Addendum
As referenced in our letter responding to your Freedom of Information/Privacy Acts (FOIPA) request, the FBI FOIPA
Addendum provides information applicable to your request. Part 1 of the Addendum includes standard responses that apply
to all requests. Part 2 includes standard responses that apply to requests for records about individuals to the extent your
request seeks the listed information. Part 3 includes general information about FBI records, searches, and programs.
Part 1: The standard responses below apply to all requests:
(i) 5 U.S.C. § 552(c). Congress excluded three categories of law enforcement and national security records from the
requirements of the FOIPA [5 U.S.C. § 552(c)]. FBI responses are limited to those records subject to the requirements
of the FOIPA. Additional information about the FBI and the FOIPA can be found on the www.fbi.gov/foia website.
(ii) Intelligence Records. To the extent your request seeks records of intelligence sources, methods, or activities, the
FBI can neither confirm nor deny the existence of records pursuant to FOIA exemptions (b)(1), (b)(3), and as applicable to
requests for records about individuals, PA exemption (j)(2) [5 U.S.C. §§ 552/552a (b)(1), (b)(3), and (j)(2)]. The mere
acknowledgment of the existence or nonexistence of such records is itself a classified fact protected by FOIA exemption
(b)(1) and/or would reveal intelligence sources, methods, or activities protected by exemption (b)(3) [50 USC §
3024(i)(1)]. This is a standard response and should not be read to indicate that any such records do or do not exist.
Part 2: The standard responses below apply to all requests for records on individuals:
(i) Requests for Records about any Individual—Watch Lists. The FBI can neither confirm nor deny the existence of
any individual’s name on a watch list pursuant to FOIA exemption (b)(7)(E) and PA exemption (j)(2) [5 U.S.C. §§
552/552a (b)(7)(E), (j)(2)]. This is a standard response and should not be read to indicate that watch list records do or
do not exist.
(ii) Requests for Records about any Individual—Witness Security Program Records. The FBI can neither confirm
nor deny the existence of records which could identify any participant in the Witness Security Program pursuant to
FOIA exemption (b)(3) and PA exemption (j)(2) [5 U.S.C. §§ 552/552a (b)(3), 18 U.S.C. 3521, and (j)(2)]. This is a
standard response and should not be read to indicate that such records do or do not exist.
(iii) Requests for Records for Incarcerated Individuals. The FBI can neither confirm nor deny the existence of records
which could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of any incarcerated individual pursuant to
FOIA exemptions (b)(7)(E), (b)(7)(F), and PA exemption (j)(2) [5 U.S.C. §§ 552/552a (b)(7)(E), (b)(7)(F), and (j)(2)].
This is a standard response and should not be read to indicate that such records do or do not exist.
Part 3: General Information:
(i) Record Searches. The Record/Information Dissemination Section (RIDS) searches for reasonably described records by
searching systems or locations where responsive records would reasonably be found. A standard search normally
consists of a search for main files in the Central Records System (CRS), an extensive system of records consisting of
applicant, investigative, intelligence, personnel, administrative, and general files compiled by the FBI per its law
enforcement, intelligence, and administrative functions. The CRS spans the entire FBI organization, comprising records
of FBI Pleadquarters, FBI Field Offices, and FBI Legal Attache Offices (Legats) worldwide; Electronic Surveillance
(ELSUR) records are included in the CRS. Unless specifically requested, a standard search does not include references,
administrative records of previous FOIPA requests, or civil litigation files. For additional information about our record
searches, visit www.fbi.qov/services/information-manaqement/foipa/requestinq-fbi-records .
(ii) FBI Records. Founded in 1908, the FBI carries out a dual law enforcement and national security mission. As part of this
dual mission, the FBI creates and maintains records on various subjects; however, the FBI does not maintain records on
every person, subject, or entity.
(iii) Requests for Criminal History Records or Rap Sheets. The Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division
provides Identity History Summary Checks - often referred to as a criminal history record or rap sheet. These criminal
history records are not the same as material in an investigative “FBI file.” An Identity History Summary Check is a
listing of information taken from fingerprint cards and documents submitted to the FBI in connection with arrests,
federal employment, naturalization, or military service. For a fee, individuals can request a copy of their Identity History
Summary Check. Forms and directions can be accessed at www.fbi.gov/about-us/ciis/identitv-historv-summary-
checks . Additionally, requests can be submitted electronically at www.edo.ciis.gov . For additional information, please
contact CJIS directly at (304) 625-5590.
(iv) National Name Check Program (NNCP). The mission of NNCP is to analyze and report information in response to name
check requests received from federal agencies, for the purpose of protecting the United States from foreign and domestic
threats to national security. Please be advised that this is a service provided to other federal agencies. Private Citizens
cannot request a name check.

On April 6, 1965, 1 I Clerk, Credit
Bureau of Greater Kansas City, made available her file fox
Richard Roy Angle, and wife Ann, which contained a credit
report prepared on November 18, 1958, for the Credit Bureau
of Buffalo, New York. This report reflected Angle was
residing at 53 Belsan Court, Buffalo, New York, and that he
was the Vice-President of the Southern Brokerage and Holding
Company, 240 Colvin Avenue, Buffalo, New York.
(his document contains neither recommendations not conclusions ol the FBi

we not to be distributed outside your agency.
"ill - i
The report reflected there had been a satisfactory
credit record for Angle on file in Kansas City, Missouri,
since 1947. His employment was listed as a salesman and
Sales Manager in the seed department of the Larabee Milling
Company, Kansas City, Missouri, for at least 5\ years, until
he resigned on April 31, 1957. His income was estimated as
$10,000 per year for sales and commission. He rented an
apartment at 350 East Armour, Kansas City, Missouri.
Inquiry at the Larabee Milling Company reflected he
was a very satisfactory employee and was recommended highly.
The credit file reflected a credit inquiry from Fayetteville,
Arkansas, on May 9, 1955; and from Edmondon, Ontario, on
November 26, 1956.
On April 7, 1965, ^ I Earl
Branson Company, Kansas Aveau^andntailroad Street, Kansas
City, Kansas, a grain concern, advised he had formerly been
the Manager of the Feed Division of Archer-Daniels Midland
Company, Kansas City, Missouri, a grain concern, during the
1940s and into the late middle 1950s.
I I Richa rd Angle as a salesman in about 1949,
after which Angle worked |umtil he was
terminated in 1957. With mt : exception ui me last year of
this employment, Angle worked as a salesman in Arkansas with
his headquarters in Springdale and Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Angle was a very competent and aggressive salesman,
who appeared to be a man of sound business ethics. Because
of his good record, he was promoted to the position of Sales
Manager back in Kansas City, Missouri, for the last year of
his employment. He was terminated because the company went
out of the fee d business during 1957. Shortly after Angle
was terminated,! |was also terminated for the same
reason.
It was ! I mpression that Angle was developing
a company which published a newsletter on Canadian securities
for about the last year or two he worked for the Archer-Daniels
Midland Company. He continued this business briefly in the
Kansas City area after he terminated this employment.
By 1958, Angle left the Kansas City area for Buffalo,
New York, and later moved to Canada. [ ladvised that he
-2
has no knowledge of Angle's business associates or of his
business activity since he left the Kansas City area in 1958.
It was his impression that Angle gained sons knowledge of
stocks and bonds from an uncle who had been the head of a
bank in the Kansas City, Kansas, area.
He explained that Angle's employwent with the
Archer-Daniels Midland Company might be referred to as
employment with the Larabee Milling Company, as the Larabee
Milling Company is the commercial name for the Flour Division
of the parent company.
He could suggest no business associates or other
individuals who would have been acquainted with Angle during
his period of employment by this company.

explained that tne Angie xamily is a very reputable family in
the Metropolitan Kansas City, Kansas, area,
Richard had an uncle, deceased, who was the President
of the Hope State Bank. His father, Roy Angle, was the
Wyandotte County Auditor prior to the time he suffered a stroke
about four years ago, which left him permanently bedridden and
not conscious of activity about him.
1 Richard was an only child, and the only close
re latives he has a re his mother and his mother's sister, who
is | | »ife. Richard's wife, to whom he has been
married about ten years, was originally from the Indianapolis,
Indiana, area, but he met her prior to their marriage in
Kansas City, Missouri, where she was employed.
Richard served honorably in the U.S.Navy during
World War II. After that, he assisted his parents in operating
a truck farm at their present r esidence in B ethel. Kansas.
After that, he went to work for | | as a feed salesman
for the Gooch Feed Company, and was a salesman operating out
of Salina, Kansas. He took a better job as a feed salesman for
the Archer-Daniels Midland Company in the late 1940s, and
worked for them primarily in the state of Arkansas, until the
middle 1950s. He worked for this company in Kansas City,
-3-
Missouri, for about a year prior to the tine he terminated
this enploynent, in about 1957.
For about a year or two prior to terminating this
employment, he and his wife operated a company which published
information regarding Canadian securities. Shortly after he
terminated employment with the Archer-Daniels Midland Company,
he moved to Buffalo, New York, and then to Toronto, Canada.
I p dvised he was not acquainted with the be
business activity, affiliations, or associates of Richard hie
Angle after he left the Kansas City area. His only contacts
with Angle since that time have been of a family nature,
although it was his impression, from visits by Angle and
statements made by him, that he was doing very well with the
financial activity he was engaging in in Canada.
He stated it was his impression that Angle was a
very competent businessman, and probably learned whatever he
needed to know about his business in Canada as a result of tads
early interest in the publishing company relating to Canadian
securities, which he had already established before he left
the Kansas City area.

RICHARD ROY ANGLE, and wife ANN, which contained a credit
report prepared on November 18, 1958, for the Credit Bureau
of Buffalo, New York. This report reflected ANGLE was
residing at 53 Delsan Court, Buffalo, New York, and that he
was the Vice President of the Southern Brokerage and Holdings
Company, 240 Colvin Avenue, Buffalo, New York.
The report reflected there had been a satisfactory
credit record for ANGLE on file in Kansas City, Missouri,
since 1947. His employment was listed as a salesman and
sales manager in the Seed Department of the Larabee Milling
Company, Kansas City, Missouri, for at least 5i years, until
he resigned on April 31* 1957. His income was estimated as
$10,000.00 per year for sales and commission. He rented an
apartment at 350 East Armour, Kansas City, Missouri.

Inquiry at the Larabee Milling Company reflected he
was a very satisfactory employee and was recommended highly.

I | RICHARD AMITE as a salesman in about 1949,
after which ANGLE worked| |until he was
terminated in 1957. With the exception or the last year of
this employment, ANGLE worked as a salesman in Arkansas with
his headquarters in Springdale and Fayetteville, Arkansas.
ANGLE was a very competent and aggressive salesman,
who appeared to be a man of sound business ethics. Because
of his good record, he was promoted to the position of sales
manager back in Kansas City, Missouri, for the last year of
his employment. He was terminated because the company went
out of the feed business during 1957. Shortly after ANGLE
was terminated, ~| was also terminated for the same reason.
It was | | impression that ANGLE was developing
a company which published a newsletter on Canadian securities
for about the last year or two he worked for the Archer-Daniels
Midland Company. He continued this business briefly in the
Kansas City area after he terminated this employment.
By 1958, ANGLE left the Kan sas City arsa for Buffalo,
New York, and later moved to Canada. | ^ advised that he
has no knowledge of ANGLE’S business associates or of his
business activity since he left the Kansas City area in 1958.
It was his impression that ANGLE gained some knowledge of
stocks and bonds from an uncle who had been the head of a
bank in the Kansas City, Kansas area.
He explained that ANGLE’S employment with the
Archer-Daniels Midland Company might be referred to as

RICHARD had an uncle, deceased, who was the president
of the Hope State Bank. His father, ROY ANGLE, was the
Wyandotte County Auditor prior to the time he suffered a stroke
about four years ago, which left him permanently bedridden and
not conscious of activity about him.
RICHARD was an only child, and the only close
re latives he has are his mother and his mother’s sister, who
is | ~| wife. RICHARD'S wife, to whom he has been
married about ten years, was originally from the Indianapolis,
Indiana, area, but he met her prior to their marriage in
Kansas City, Missouri, where she was employed.
RICHARD served honorably in the United States Navy
during World War II. After that, he assisted his parents in
operating a truck farm at their present residence in Bethel,
Kansas. After that, he went to work for| |as a

late 1940s, and worked for them primarily in the State of
Arkansas, until the middle 1950s. He worked for this company
in Kansas City, Missouri, for about a year prior to the time
he terminated this employment, in about 1957.
For about a year or two prior to terminating this
employment, he and his wife operated a company which published
information regarding Canadian securities. Shortly after he

business activity, affiliations, or associates of RICHARD
ANGLE after he left the Kansas City area. His only contacts
with ANGLE since that time have been of a family nature,
although it was his impression, from visits by ANGLE and
statements made by him, that he was doing very well with the
financial activity he was engaging in in Canada.
He stated it was his impression that ANGLE was a
very competent businessman, and probably learned whatever he
needed to know about his business in Canada as a result of
his early interest in the publishing company relating to
Canadian securities, which he had already established before
he left the Kansas City area.

to |that a lawyer came in and wanted to talk with NATARELLI
on 5/IV/65, and RANDACCIO feels that if NATARELLI would tell
these people he wanted a legal aid lawyer as he was going to
"cop a plea" for a two-year sentence, then maybe the cost of
lawyers would not be so much. The informant stated that RANDACCIO
questioned the rule on how the attorneys or the courts could
take the word of RICHARD ANGLE, ijfelt'lost of the conversation
between ANGLE, NATARELLI and the VOLPEs is on tape. RANDACCIO
indicated he was aware of the conversations on the audio tape
transcribed by the Toronto PD, according to the informant, since
NATAREIil appeared to quote portions of the conversations of
the VOLPEs.

Information developed during the course of the
ITAR investigation involving NATARELLI and members of the

murder, and who was produced through the r- drof i rm rt-F ~f- ~h o
PHILADELPHIA POLICE DEPARTMENT (PHPD), and]
which was also arranged by the Philadelphia Division of the
FBI. MARTORANO refused to answer any questions posed to him
by the Canadian po lice offi cers: however, an extensive interview

Canadians to meet with Lieutenant (Lt.) [ ’

because of the rather unrestricted use of electronic surveil¬

It was suggested that if these avenues of investigation were
pursued, additional evidence might be uncovered that would tend
to implicate | H or others who may be involved in the murder.
It is the Philadelphia Division’s opinion that the Canadians
have a well -founded belief that there is a motive for the murder

Philadelphia Division anticipates that there may be
additional requests for assista nce in this matter following
upinformation developedbythef and the PRPF. A Phila¬
delphia agent was with the Canalian p'olice officers during all
interviews. Additionally, documents requested by them were
photocopied to facilitate their continuing investigation.
The referenced airtel directs receiving field divisions
to prepare an LHM concerning these areas of investigation.
Because the Canadian police officers were able to conduct this
investigation themselves, it is felt that an LHM is unnecessary.
UACB these LHM's will not be prepared.
Unless any additionalrequestsfromthe b r the
PRPF are received, Philadelphia considers this matter to be

Enclosed herewith is a letterhead memorandum
in sextuplicate, concerning the surveillance of JOHN LOME on
10/15/63 at Idlewild Airport, NYC, as requested xn referenced
Buffalo teletype. Investigat ion in this matter was conducted
by SAS LEONARD H. MC COY and I 1
It is pointed out that when HOME “arrived-f rom-——
Toronto at American Airlines Terminal, Idlewild, he proceeded
to the Eastern Airlines Terminal, from where he was to depart
for Miami on EAL Flight 647. The departure of this flight
was delayed from 9 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. After LOME confirmed
his reservation, he went directly to the cpektail lounge m
the EAL buildirg and sat at the bar in a location where he
could not be observe d~^frmr-i3ufsi4e-^the_loimge. ----
■ Bureau agents, having placed- themselves in a
position to observe any contacts made by LOME, were approached
by him and asked for assistance in obtaining a redcap. It is ,
to be noted that LOME was walking on' crutches and had one f
attache ease in his possession*
Bureau agents offered to assist LOME in boarding
his flight and conversation followediin which LOME volunteered
the information set forth in enclosure.
Bureau agents did not reveal "their identity at
anytime but found LOME very willing to discuss the purpose and
background;;for,his trip, in addition to background on himself.

IiOME is; the president of Aero Tool Works, Limited,
37 Hanna'-Avenue, Toronto,^ Canada and travels in and through
the United States on frequent business trips in addition
to his visits to Haiti. He apparently has friends in
'Miami* Florida, whom he s.eeS on a regular basis...
t . Although Bureau ’agents did not identify themselves
'at the time of their conversation with LOME, he appeared to
be a cooperative individual.,-who,, i-f approached in the right,
/manner, could supply invaluable information' as to gambling -
"matters, hoodlum connections therein, .and perhaps political.
conditions in Haiti. ' ‘ •

Should the Bureau approve’ of further contact ^ of

to learn of;’ LOME ’ s contacts, while passing through the New'
• York, and Miami areas. If the. Bureau should; leafn via the,.
Metropolitan Toronto Police Department of future travel plans

- thd Top Gambling Informant Program. '■ • • \
. The CAMBRONE-mentioned in enclosed letterhead.
\. memorandum is possibly identical ..to LUOKNER CAMBRONNE,
Personal Secretary to President FRANCOIS DUVAL IER. of Haiti.
Information was then obtained concerning Lome
as follows-:
He planned to stay at the Fountainebleau Hotel,
Miami Beach, Florida* until Thursday* October 17* 1963*
when he would leave for Port-Au-Prince, Haiti* via Kingston*
Jamaica, with two "friends'* from Canada, who were to join,
him in Miami Beach on Wednesday* October 16*. 1963.
Lome* with, the advice and aid of his -two "friends",*
is to. start negotiations for the "take-over" of all,gambling*
including gambling machines* on the 1'sland of Haiti. Lome .'
claims to own the Caribe Haiti Hotel* Port -Au- Brine e and said
he had attempted to gain control of Haitian gambling about two
years ago* but the Haitian Government then wanted a sum of .
$325*000* plus 20$ of the gross proceeds. Lome stated the
flat sum was exorbitant* but that he now understands that the
government is willing to settle for only the 20$ of the gross
business. He explained that gambling., on the island is presently
operated by the government but that it is losing money because
of poor management. . ' ■* - „
. . Lome exhibited two cablegrams addressed to.him
and sent from Haiti by a person with the surname Cambronne. Lome
described this person as the Secretary of State of Haiti. The
content of these cablegrams requested Lome's presence in Port- ;
-Ad-Prince* Haiti*, as soon, as possible to discuss terms regard¬
ing the gambling concession. Lome claimed to have excellent
connections within the Haitian Government* including a personal
friendship with President Duvalier. Lome- made the statement .
• that Duvalier is currently a mere figurehead* afraid to go
outside his-residence without a •large body of armed guards
surrounding him* and that cambronne-* who dispatched the afore--
'mentioned cablegrams, is really the "strong man" on the island. ‘
Lome removed a leather case from; his attache case
and exhibited a. Miniphone tape recorder -Which he said he plans
to use in his conversations with Haitian officials. He implied
that they had reneged on their word in the past and on future
occasions he plans to record their'statements.

RE: PAUL VOLPE
ITWI
(00: Bureau)
In Bureau airtel to Legat, Ottawa, dated November 6,
1963, specific leads were set forth for the Miami Division?,
One particular -lead requested a check- of long distance calls
made by JOHN LOME while at the Fontainebleau Hotel, October 15,
1963 to October 17, 1963 ; . These records are not available
through normal means and must be secured through an informant.
It was impossible for the informant to secure the information
until November 21, 1963, and this information was given to the
writer on November 22, 1963, > All other investigation was com¬
pleted on November 12, 1963 t i.
The Bureau was not advised of the failure to meet
the deadline inasmuch as I was under the impression the in¬
formant could readily obtain the desired information and a
prompt reply could be afforded. For the foregoing reasons I
failed to advise the Bureau that the deadline would not be met.
In the future I will immediately notify the Bureau when it is
foreseeable that a delay might result in not meeting the Bureau
deadline.

Immigration File Number 5576/408 pertaining
to one Vito Volpe, who might be identical, reflected the
following:
Vito Volpe, thirty nine years old alien, married
and a native of Italy, arrived in the United States on
December 4, 1926, unable to read. He had previously been
in the United States from May, 1905, to November, 1914, at
which time he returned to Italy to join the Italian Army.
Volpe returned to the United States in August, 1920, and
thereafter departed on December 12, 1925. At time of entry
on August 1920, Volpe destined to wife's brother, one
Antonio Calbo, residing "152 Morris Avenue, New York City”.
At time of last entry on December 4, 1926, he was returning
to the United States to resume residence and to remain
permanently.
An INS Hearing was conducted December 6, 1926,
at Ellis Island, New York,Harbor, New York City based on
alien's inability to read. On same date, Volpe was refused
admission into the United States, with right to appeal, due
to "unable to read". An appeal was entered against this
ruling.
Volpe had resided in the United States from May
1905 to December 12, 1925. Having had a residence in the
United States in excess of seven years, an INS Board of
Review on December 8, 1926, recommended that the appeal be
sustained.,
On December 9, 1926, the Department of Labor -
Bureau of Immigration ordered that instant appeal be sustained
and that admission of Volpe be authorized.

Massaria was interviewed in connection with the
passing of fraudulent teller's checks of the Chase
Manhattan Bank in Hew York City. Massaria was a suspect
in this case, but denied any knowledge of this particular
crime which involved the Interstate Transportation of
Stolen property. *
in connection with the above case, it is to
be noted that on April 9, 1963.-, the Burlington, Ontario,
Canada, Police Department advised the Buffalo Office of
the FBI that on that date two boys playing in a wooded
area near the Burlington city limits found a quantity
of Chase Manhattan Bank of New York teller*s checks.
A subsequent search of the area by the Burlington
Police Department resulted in the: .recovery of a total • ■
of 119 such checks made out in amounts ranging from V _
$ 2 , 100.00 to $ 12 , 000 . 00 , the sum total of which added
up to a half million dollars. No suspects were, developed
by the police Department of Burlington and .they had no
report of any such checks having been passed in the
Burlington area.

It should he noted that STEVE MAGADDINO was hospitalized
around 6/20/64, because of a heart attack. It appears that the
matter hereinafter discussed by NATARELLI and RANDACCIO would
have normally been taken up with the subject who was only
receiving a limited number of visitors in the hospital during
the day.
The conversation as set forth below was between
NATARELLI, referred to as PN and PETER A. MAGADDINO as PAM:
PN: PETE
PAM: Yeh
This Toto's son, you know the "Moose,” (SAM LAGATTUTA,
JR.) he’s been shooting up to Canada, up to Toronto.
and he has been going up there with a junkie |
1 I ft- a convicted pusher. So now it loo ks like
the FBI is in on that too. So the other day,
brought him over to the restaura nt and he mentioned
some guy over there, | | So I told this here
kid, I said, 'Now lookit, I don’t think this here guy
is any good. I know the guy see." I said "Stay away
from there. 11 —So, the day before yesterday (7/11/64),
this [_| called up this junkie and he said "Why
don * t you come up." They are supposed to have some
kind of a silver deal, see, but I didn’t know it. And
he says "Well we’re short." He says "What the hell*s
the difference, I could have sent you the money. You
know what ‘the hel l it cost, a tank of gas to go
up (inaudible)," and so now this here TOTO’s kid went
to l_l and he sa ys "Wen, J-C-mayb e I
can ge t a thousand dollars from this, from this| 1
_l u P there." A nd so AL told me Saturda y (7/11/64)
night at the wedding| son’s
wedding); he says ' T tol d the kid not to gn u p there
but he wants to see | | anyway." So I says, "All right,
let him come in." Now when he comes in, I’m going to
tell the punk to stay away from the (obscene) junkies
and to stay away from our neighborhood.

That's right.
Because we had Federal men come arpund
two days since he was there; since
the joint for
brought him there.
So I m telling you this now in case ne puts up a beef
and runs to his old man (SAM LAGATTUTA, SR.). I'm
bo tell his old man to mind his own business too,
dll right PETE?
Yeh. And tell him, "Don't go up and see that (obscene),
Keep away from him."
Because the heat is all coming to us. So chances ar e
this guy up there mentioned my name. I met him through
PAUL VOLPE and if they use it over the telephone now,
the FBI is going to start all over with me again, see.
What's his first name?
_ _ _, He the guy we collected money from FRANKIE
POPS (FRANK PAPALIA) to pay (inaudible) PAUL VOLPE.
Yeh. Yeh.
You understand? But he is no good. The (obscene). He
is the" guy who used to work for these here Jews and the
Big Oxie, and then PAUL vot.pt? had guy i n tow and

that is whehe
involved with that $ 3,000 deal.-

all those people out of that- money. And so' this' is
the- same deal- where-’-DOMINIdK (DOMINlCK D'AGOSTINO),*
where -he says, there is some Jew up there that wants
to pay the money but he is afraid PAUL VOLPE will step
the picture-. ‘ You understand? • . ~ { • > •. ;

PN: You tell the mother (obscene) to go ahead (inaudible)
all right. But this p sed to work for the
(obscene) Jews, but he's got a big (obscene) mouth.
See, now I don't want this kid (SAM LAGATTUTA, JR.)
to get up there and I don't want my name to start
getting kicked around because they are junkies. You
understand?
PAM: Yeh.
PN: So I'm going to do that then. Just in case the old man
should come into the picture, I'm going to tell the
old man (SAM LAGATTUTA, SR.) to mind his own business.
All right?
PAM: Okay.
Based upon the above conversation, it would appear
that NATARELLI is somewhat concerned over the possibility that
SAM LAGATTUTA, JR., the son of the Apalachin delegate, and
t ere circumventing the normal channels in
_|to discuss this deal concerning
silver. NATARELLI makes It a point to explain that he ia afraid
that' his name will come out in LAGATTUTA 1 sand! dealings
with | NATARELLI also indicates that is a member of the
VOLPE family in Toronto. Appare ntly NATARE Lbi or other memberd
of the MAGADDINO family had used to collect money from
PRANK PAPALIA, aka Frankie Pops, and they had an interest in an
international narcotics smuggling ring operating in Europe,
Canada, and the United States.
The id entity of the "Jews" and the_ as
individuals whom|_formerly wo rked a re unknown to the Buffalo
Office. In view of the fact that | ~| has been identified as
a leading figure in the VOLPE family, the attention of the New
York Office is invited to the surveillance conducted at New York
